“If there was a realistic chance that they could turn three states, and therefore turn the election, you could say, ‘All right, I get it,'” he said. “But there’s not. I mean, nobody believes they’re going to turn Pennsylvania, period. If you don’t turn Pennsylvania, nothing matters … The odds against them … are probably a trillion to one.”

Gingrich also told Hannity that while there is not “a realistic chance” the recount will alter the outcome, it will make people aware of the condition of the party.

This is not the first time Gingrich has suggested Democrats may be in trouble.

In an article for the Washington Times in November 2015, Gingrich spoke to rumors of the GOP’s collapse.

He pointed out instances in which the Republican Party appeared to be gaining momentum.

Gingrich ended his article saying, “Finally, after this week’s elections, the Washington-media establishment may be starting to show signs of recognition that, far from 2010 and 2014 being anomalies on the way to Republican extinction, it is the Democrats who are facing historic challenges in their nationwide appeal.”

Not limiting his criticism to the Green Party and Democrats, Gingrich also criticized President-elect Trump for considering Mitt Romney as his secretary of state.

He warned that many people will be upset at the thought of Romney serving in Trump’s administration.

“He has to decide if he’s willing to accept a very large part of his base being totally upset and feeling betrayed … or he has to come up with a pretty good explanation … why Mitt Romney makes any sense as secretary of state,” Gingrich said.
